We are vessels of speech, we are the repositories which harbour secrets many centuries old. The art of eloquence has no secrets for us; without us the names of kings would vanish into oblivion, we are the memory of mankind; by the spoken word we bring to life the deeds and exploits of kings.
D.T. Niane, Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali

Djibril Tamsir Niane
He was great among kings, he was peerless among men.
Djibril Tamsir Niane, Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali
